This seems to be the first blackout cartoon from Terrytoons, a series of gags on a common subject without anything in the way of a story. Like many of the blackout cartoons of the era, it masquerades as a newsreel or travelogue. In this case, it's a travelogue that pretends to show you the sights around the North Pole: Northern Lights, Eskimos eating walruses, walruses eating Eskimos, and so forth.
The gags are well placed and illustrated and the advantage of the form is its rapid-fire nature. If you don't laugh at this joke, another will be along in a couple of seconds that may amuse you more. In the meantime, the communal nature of a comedy in a theater will keep you laughing.
Although some of the jokes are repetitive or so old-hat by now that they won't be amusing, they are all well performed and the result is a funny cartoon.
